About This Game

The first hi-res 2D fighter from the creators of the Guilty Gear series! BlazBlue is a traditional 2D fighter where two characters participate in a duel. The story of the game involves dissent and destruction among a powerful council, known unofficially as "the Library," which controls a great power that once saved humanity, but which now wields its power in protective, some say repressive, ways.
A round is called a "rebel" and one match can consist of one to five "rebels". To win a round, one player must either incapacitate the other by inflicting damage through various attacks to reduce their opponent's health to zero or by having more remaining health than their opponent after the clock runs out. Every character has a weak, medium and strong attack. Also every ones has a "unique" technique, called a Drive attack, which is different for each character.

I'm not really a big fan of anime, to be honest. 'BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger', on the other hand, looks amazing and is probably (one of) the best looking 2-D fighter game out there.

There are 12 characters to fight with (or against). Not a very big number but at least every character is unique and plays totally different. The gameplay is great, fights get your adrenaline pumping and there are lots of special moves.

There are a few modes you find in every fighter like; Arcade, Time Attack and Story mode, so nothing special there. Also, there's no option to play vs friends online, which is something a game like this should have.

There are also a few things I did find weird, probably because I'm not into anime. Things like; a round is called 'rebel' in this game? and before every match a voice says "the wheel of fate is turning"...

In my opinion, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is a great game but it wouldn't hurt if there was more content. Still, if you don't mind playing story mode or have some friends to play with locally, you can still have lots of fun with this one.

While it is the oldest, least balanced, most bare game in the series, with online features having long been stripped, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger makes up for its shortcomings by containing an entire story route revolving around one of the characters having small boobs that is necessary in order to see the true ending. For this reason, I feel that it would be a crime to suggest this title as anything less than one of the greatest visual novels in a somewhat dated release of a good fighting game ever made.

I absolutely love BlazBlue, and the game itself is very fun, so I'm giving this a positive score, but there are a few things that you should know before buying this game. First off, this version of the game does not have online play. This is also a game that you will want to have a controller to play, preferably two of them in case you want to play with a friend when you have them over. Finally,the last thing that new players should know is that the release of Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend makes this game obsolete due to the fact that it covers the storyline from both this game and the sequel while adding new characters.
